Exegesis
The final clause, with the present indicative phonei {φωνεῖ | phō-neî} plus the direct object se {σε | sê}, emphasizes personal address: “He is calling you.” In translation, the sequence of imperatives and present indicatives is preserved to retain urgency and relational immediacy, while standard subject–verb–object order clarifies the roles of Jesus, the crowd, and the blind man.
In context — Mark 10:49
And Jesus stood still and said, “Call him.” And they called the blind , saying to him, “Take courage; rise; He is calling you.”
